If your mind is filled with a lot of anxiousness and worry for your future, your vision is set on what is in front of you, not ahead on your path.

The one thing that we have all experienced in life is anxiety or worry, and this is often from the things that occupy us, such as rent due, care for your own family and the family you raised, as well as even more. This is seen many times in the bible from the disciples, Jesus visited Mary and Martha and even the Philippians and many more. This has led to cases that can lead to law-enforcement-filled solutions.
Philippians 4:6
“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank Him for all he has done.”
The book of Philippians is where the Apostle Paul shared an understanding that you pursuing to live a life worthy of your calling, however as you come to chapter four, you get to receive an understanding of what you might experience can be entrusted to God, for since your anxiousness is present, give to God what your anxious about and allow God intervene.
Learned to connect with God, believe that you've received and prepare to receive peace that cannot be understood, for where there's peace provided there is less of a desire to complain, or be active in disagreements, there's a sense of you knowing what you can do, even if it does not work our you become optimistic.
Jesus, in the sermon on the Mount, said not to worry about what you have to eat and what to wear (Matthew 6:19-34). Jesus, to share this, shows us it is something that we have to be aware of. It is that important that we have to hear it from God. But why should we be aware of it? Because it is something that worries does and it exposes as well that you may have a fear of letting go and having God handle it, but let's understand more aspects of what anxiety invites:
Fear
This is a feeling whereby many people have been in them, and it is also what causes many to not progress forward in many parts of life. Many factors, such as risking what you have by creating a business out of an idea you have, surviving through periods of struggle and many demands, are looking at their current situation and judging based on it, not the faith to which Jesus directed them to have. However, fear puts you in a position of not wanting to progress or make use of what you have.
2 Timothy 1:7
For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity but of power, love and self-discipline
Uncertainty
Uncertain means not having certain knowledge - (Merriam Webster)
Not knowing about something you have dealt with or you just were given information about recently can cause you to operate in a place of anxiousness, this is seen when giving a speech, unprepared, or even in your journey with God, Jesus’ messages in the bible he did not write them down he spoke them because he was them but even more, he is God on earth. When you are uncertain, anxiety is what you may start to feel. Even you can be uncertain about something and still not be anxious about many things.
Fear, anxiety and uncertainty can be something dealt with by introducing love.
Philippians 4:6
Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank him for all he has done.
Notice that the feeling of anxiousness arises when you start to feel like something is missing. This scripture shows us that there is nothing that should be holding you back, which is what anxiety does when you have Jesus the disciples left the things they would do in they're life and followed Jesus, they only had Jesus, when storms appear they went straight to Jesus, even in life be not afraid instead have faith and pray, tell God what you need or want and allow in gratitude for what he has done, meaning acknowledge what he has done. Fear is something that you have to face and ask God to perfect you in love, for in 1 John 4:18,”... perfect love cast out fear…”.
Now you know that there is nothing that God cannot give you as much as you want. Remember, Jesus loves you.
